Chapter 15: One More Disease
Hearing what Zuo Li said, Chang Jianguo nodded and said, "Well, that's right, just follow your formula." What about the esophageal cancer patient? This is Chuanxiong's recipe. ”
"The patient had difficulty swallowing because of esophageal tumors, which belongs to the category of Guan Ge according to traditional Chinese medicine, and the symptoms are congestion and blockage, and the spleen and stomach are weak and cold. Chuanxiong's prescription is more about choosing some anti-cancer drugs, and not paying attention to the medication for congestion blockade, and the formula does not pay much attention to the compatibility of the monarch and the minister. I suggest that you can switch to drugs that invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. In addition......"
Speaking of this, Zuo Li lowered his head and pondered, and did not say any further.
Chang Jianguo felt that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zuo Li hurriedly said: "Nothing ......, that's all......"
At this moment, someone outside the door said: "Chest and pulmonary, Chinese medicine has been sent, please come to get the medicine." ”
It turned out that the Chinese medicine pharmacy was sending medicine to various departments in a bag, which was the dispensing of traditional Chinese medicine for auxiliary treatment. A nurse hurried over to get her medicine.
Zuo Li's heart moved, got up and walked out, and asked the nurse for the esophageal cancer patient's Chinese medicine, which was packed in a sealed food bag.
Zuo Li carried the bag of decoction and said to Chen Tianming: "I want to pour it in the bowl and see, okay?" ”
"Okay. Anyway, it should be poured out and given to the sick to drink. - What's wrong? Is there a problem with this medicine? ”
Qi Miao immediately interjected and said, "If there is a problem, it is also a matter of your Chinese medicine department!" ”
Chang Jianguo also looked at Zuo Li nervously.
Zuo Li didn't speak, he used scissors to cut open the corner of the bag, poured it into a bowl, picked it up, sniffed it first, then took a small sip with a blank face, tasted it for a moment, and then spit the medicine into the trash.
Zuo Li said to Chang Jianguo: "The medicine is fine, but it's better to adjust this recipe, change it to a new recipe and send it again." ”
Chang Jianguo nodded, and immediately said to Chen Tianming: "Don't use this decoction for now, wait for us to change the recipe, and then send the decoction." ”
Chen Tianming looked at Zuo Li and didn't speak.
Several people returned to the doctor's office for consultations.
Chen Tianming asked Chang Jianguo: "The seventy-three-year-old lady Gao who has lung cancer bone metastasis asks for pure Chinese medicine treatment, can your Chinese medicine department accept it?" ”
"I'm afraid not." Chang Jianguo said with a smile, "I can't stay, there are too many patients, and there are no empty beds." ”
"You don't seem to have that many patients in the TCM department, right? The aisles aren't full. ”
"Uh......, the aisle of the TCM department is indeed not full, and it is possible to squeeze out a place to accommodate the patient, but ......" Chang Jianguo's smile was a little stiff, "I think that some of the patient's requests are actually made under special circumstances, maybe they don't really think so, just casually." In fact, most patients think that Western medicine can cure diseases, and Chinese medicine will also regulate and regulate, otherwise, this old lady Gao will stay in your chest and pulmonology department, right? ”
Qi Miao was happy and interjected: "That's right, I think so too, how many patients really want pure Chinese medicine treatment?" For a disease as serious as cancer, the best treatment must be needed. As for traditional Chinese medicine, it is only used when the patient is not saved, and a placebo is prescribed......"
"We just can't save this old lady's illness!" Chen Tianming said helplessly, "Although her cancer has not spread to the point where it cannot be treated by the whole body, our Western medicine has no treatment methods that she can afford." - She is too weak to tolerate surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, without these three axes, what other means does Western medicine have to deal with cancer? ”
Qi Miao was a little unconvinced, and muttered: "Then Chinese medicine may not have the means?" ”
Chen Tianming looked at Zuo Li.
Zuo Li said: "If you want to completely cure Mrs. Gao's cancer, Chinese medicine will definitely not be able to do it." However, it can allow Mrs. Gao to survive with cancer, improve her quality of life, and prolong her life. Traditional Chinese medicine has its own uniqueness in this regard, and my master Yang Tianbao has had many successful cases. Of course, most of it was in the early years, when Western medicine was not so widespread and advanced. The most important thing is that the people at that time were very poor, and they had little money for radiotherapy and chemotherapy, so they could only rely on traditional Chinese medicine, which gave traditional Chinese medicine the opportunity to show its talents. Facts have proved that a considerable number of cases rely solely on traditional Chinese medicine, and the results have also been very good. ”
Chen Tianming nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then this patient will be transferred to your Chinese medicine department." You take over the next treatment, and you need our cooperation, just say. ”
Chang Jianguo smiled bitterly, sighed and didn't say anything more.
The reason why he made an excuse to push it off just now was because he didn't want to offend the Department of Chest and Pulmonology.
There are two big bulls in the Department of Chest and Pulmonology, both of whom are big celebrities in the eyes of the dean. One is Dr. Chen Tianming in the United States, and the other is Jiang Feng, director of the Department of Chest and Pulmonology, the most powerful surgical first knife in the hospital, nicknamed Brother Yidao, and a strong contender for vice president.
The Dean weighed him very seriously, and although it had not yet been finalized, he was already seeking his opinion on some important decisions. At yesterday's budget meeting, the budget of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine was drastically reduced, and the motion was put forward by Jiang Feng and approved by the dean.
Chang Jianguo is well aware of the current situation of the marginalization of Chinese medicine, and he has long recognized the role of Chinese medicine, he doesn't want to cause trouble for the Chinese medicine department because of this matter, and he is already satisfied if he can continue the status quo.
But because of Zuo Li's words, Chen Tianming finally decided to transfer the patient to their TCM department for treatment, which made Chang Jianguo cry bitterly. However, the patient's request, what Zuo Li said was also very reasonable, and he seemed to be very sure, Chen Tianming made another decision, and Chang Jianguo had no choice but to nod and agree.
Chen Tianming said again: "That boss Hai who suffers from lung cancer, he has a bad appetite and wants to regulate his stomach, just now Dr. Zuo said that he needs to discuss before prescribing, so let's go back and discuss the prescription again." ”
Chang Jianguo hurriedly agreed again.
Chen Tianming stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and said to Chang Jianguo and Zuo Li: "Thank you two for coming to the consultation today, thank you~!" ”
That is to say, the consultation is over, and you can go.
Chang Jianguo hurriedly got up and nodded and smiled, and said that he was not welcome. Zuo Li didn't get up, and looked up at Chen Tianming: "There is one more thing, I want to remind Director Chen." ”
Chen Tianming glanced at Zuo Li, then sat back in his chair, still looking at him with his hands folded.
Qi Miao and the other doctors didn't sit down, they didn't think that Zuo Li would say anything new, what should have been said just now was finished.
Zuo Li said in a deep voice: "What I want to say is this lung cancer patient Boss Hai, previously Dr. Qi said that he had two diseases, and I just said that Dr. Qi deliberately misled me, because Boss Hai only has one disease of lung cancer." Now, I need to correct it, in fact, this sea boss really has two diseases. - When he first came in, he really had only one disease, and that was lung cancer, but now, he has one more disease, which is located in the liver, which I found out by cutting my pulse. A liver test is recommended. ”
Qi Miao sneered: "Blow, you can blow, do you really think your fingers are so godly?" When he entered the hospital, he had a full body examination, including abdominal B ultrasound and liver function and other liver tests, and there was no problem! How do you get out of the sick position in the liver now? ”
